Sri Lanka takes the cup as India fumbles at the final hurdle

Let us accept it! Sri Lanka was a far better team on the day and was deserved to win the game. India on the other hand did exceptionally well to win all the matches they played in the tournament but fumbled horribly when perhaps mattered the most. Sri Lankans bowled according to a plan which was to ball just wide outside the off stump and full and suddenly in the last five overs India lost the plot from which they never recovered till Thissara Perera hit the winning six.
